    Brook is giving Thurman the inside track to a Mayweather fight, if the intention is to do Wembley Stadium Khan-Brook in May.

      If Khan and Brook don't fight this year, they run the risk of having to face the mando next year....unless Brook'snext fight is a PPV

        Rios-Brook is a fight that would please the majority, yes?

        All action, big name, international interest, sold out arena...no surprise that Eddie is excited about it.

          If khan ends up fighting Alexander then maybe we might see brooks vs Guerrero???

          Guerrero isn't that great. So it's a very winnable fight for brooks. Plus Guerrero is somewhat known.

            You really think it's going to be Rios? I don't see him going to the UK.

              Is it really Rios vs brooks next? Tough fight for brooks considering Rios will be pressuring him all night. You need to be active to keep a guy like Rios off of you because his chin is very strong.

              Brooks is very inactive and looks uncomfortable when facing a pressure fighter.

                Eddie Hearn sounded really big on that fight.

                Said he's already been contacted about it and loves the sound of it. Said he doesn't want a soft touch or the Bundu mandatory, wants an established name that interests American TV.

                  I don't think Brook deserves any soft touchs.

                  He has had 32 already before Porter.

                    What's up with champs fighting **** opponents once they get the belt? I get that there may be a situation where certain fighters don't want to fight, but in Brooks case both Khan and Thurman have expressed interest. Devon Alexander even went on twitter and expressed his interest in the fight as well.
